Comment:

Amazing professor! Cares about her students. Likes participation in class. She makes us have a learning journal, which is required, and there is a total of four submissions for that. Lots of timed essays + 3-4 major essays through out the semester. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Accepts late work, very lenient. Also a hybrid class.

This professor give lots of readings, pays attentions to detail. To submit essays she uses Turn It In, lots of discussions with 200-300 word minimum, she takes point's off every little thing, NO EXTRA CREDIT! I wouldn't take her AGAIN plain and simple.

Comment:

I took this Online class and it was an easy A. It isn't one of those classes where you just show up and get an A. The online class consist of 5 essays total. Also, there were 5 easy discussion assignments for each essay. I would strongly suggest taking her class. The due dates were reasonable and allowed you time to finish the work.

BEST ENGLISH TEACHER AT VC Professor Henny's class was focused on improvement for writing through metacognition. She is very understanding and truly cares for her students. Its important to participate and be involved and actually learn and absorb the assignments. For an english writing class we had 4 essays in total. Eager to go to class everyday

Comment:

Henny Kim-Ortel was a great teacher. It's not an easy class but I really enjoyed it overall. Our class was small so it allowed us to form a little family for the semester which was super cool. She's silly at times which lightens the mood. The only downside is all the busy work, not hard, but a ton of reading and writing. Overall great teacher.

Professor Kim was a great English professor! She assigns papers every now and then but they're super easy and won't take long to get done. Laugh at her jokes and you might get extra credit, also you might get EC if you tell a joke to the class.

Professor Kim is the cutest! She definitely loves to have her students participate in lectures. And I recommend you bring up good topics, because she can go on about them. Professor Kim is a tough grader, but she is always willing to help. If you just show up to class, stay through the entire time, and do the class work you'll easily pass.

Professor Kim is an amazing instructor! Definitely try and take her she will help you develop your writing skills. Be ready to read the chapters she assigns you because she does call on random students to summarize the article. Only assigns 4 essays that start off short and turn into 6-8 pages. She allows for you to work on your essays during class

Professor Kim is intelligent, affable, and clearly cares about her work and her students. Her class is designed in a way that will definitely improve your writing abilities provided that you put in some effort. Most of her assignments are done in class and can't be made up so it's not a class you can skip. Would recommend.

Great class and teacher! There are weekly discussions (worth 40% of your grade) and 4 essays (worth 60% of your grade). All of our assignments are from the textbook. Gives you a week to complete and respond to discussions. Essay due dates vary, but she provides all the course work and calendar of when assignments are due so there are no surprises.
